Tag: virtualmin

Just a quick pointer for anyone else scratching their head after a kernel update. For reference this relates to running virtualmin on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

Before the kernel update via the package manager I had no issues creating new virtual servers through virtualmin. However, strangely enough, on creating a new virtual server and progressing through the user creation stage, this shows up:

Failed to create virtual server : setquota: Mountpoint (or device) / not found or has no quota enabled.
setquota: Not all specified mountpoints are using quota.

Turning off and on didn’t solve anything (quotaoff, quotaon) This doesn’t seem related to the Debian/Xen root mount issue mentioned in the Virtualmin forum.

It dawned that this is an issue with the kernel, so thankfully I came across this post. Quota support may have been removed from the default virtual image, but I only need to perform a modprobe and enable the quota service as described at http://www.virtualmin.com/node/23522 :
